"serve-static" target leads to endless loop in angular application

[JonasLuechau]

Current Behavior

I'm trying to use a cached build, serve it and use it with Cypress, but the "serve-static" target/the @nx/web:file-server executor leads to an endless loop where NX builds the app again and again. If I use the underlying http-server package directly I can serve the build without problems.

Expected Behavior

The executor shoud just serve the app after building the app once.

Steps to Reproduce

1. npx create-nx-workspace@latest
2. Choose angular, integrated monorepo, webpack as bundler, scss, no prerendering, cypress and gitlab
3. In your new workspace use "npx nx run [your project]:serve-static"
4. It will run into an endless loop and build the app over and over (while reading from cache)

I can't reproduce this on Nx 19.5.0 (just released).

Can you try again with that?
